"Can we, please, help this lady out. She and the baby are my regular patients to an extent where she feels comfortable telling me her personal deep matters.
"She’s unemployed and is struggling in all aspects ... She’s depending on cleaning peoples houses and [doing] their laundry [and] gets paid R150, if lucky.
"She has to then provide for herself and the baby with that amount. The baby is failing to thrive and just doesn’t look healthy."

Good Samaritan lends gogo a helping hand, SA reacts: "This is angelic"
Previously, Briefly News reported that a good Samaritan has lent a helping hand to a gogo who couldn't find her way back home after collecting her medication from the hospital.
Xolie Farida Kuzani posted on the Facebook group #ImStaying that she was on her way to a supermarket when she met the old woman, who couldn't walk properly.
Kuzani said she was moved when she realised that no one was willing to help the gogo as other people just looked at her. She said:
"I went to her and asked her where she's going. She said she's looking for the taxis going home from the hospital."
